He was appointed the head coach of rge Australia’s senior national team in 2013, his four years. During that time he led them to the 2014 FIFA World Cup, winning the AFC Asian Cup in 2015 and securing qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
He became the first Australian manager to coach a top club in Europe when he joined Celtic in June 2021. Ange won the Scottish League and Cup double in his first season and delivers the treble, the Scottish Premiership, Scottish League Cup, and Scottish Cup in 2022/23.

Tottenham Supporters will hope that he can bring his coaching experience to the Premier League as they will be looking to forget the ghosts of the 2022/23 season.
